 This is not a very abundant species with us, though 

 several pairs may be seen annually. They seem to have a 

 particular affection for the same spot : one pair at least, and 

 often more, may be seen every year in a small clump of fir 

 trees to the left of the Swindon road, just before it passes 

 through Ogbourne St. Andrew. Theii' nests have also 

 been found in the Forest. 



This is the only representative of the Shrikes which ever 

 visits us.
